Relo Metrics, Meltwater Team Up to Redefine Sponsorship Measurement in Sports and Entertainment

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Relo Metrics, the leading sports measurement platform, and Meltwater, a leading global provider of media, social, and consumer intelligence, today announced a new partnership that will transform how sports and entertainment customers measure and maximize sponsorship performance in the digital landscape. This collaboration will enable customers to unlock unparalleled insights with Relo’s AI–powered sponsorship analytics platform alongside Meltwater’s media intelligence solutions.

2024 has been the year of sports, and the overall live entertainment industry continues to have a renaissance worldwide. The need for all parties to ensure that their messages are breaking through, and that all the value is being properly measured has risen in strategic importance.

The vast digital media landscape, the thousands of websites that cover sports, entertainment, and news are the source of trillions of impressions worldwide. Previously all of that engagement and brand exposure in stories, photos, and videos was not being measured and valued in relation to a brand and a sports team, or a brand and an entertainment event. With this partnership, customers will now gain access to even more actionable insights on sponsorship performance including media values and impressions, alongside all the other channels of measurement in the Relo and Meltwater platforms.

The primary customer profiles benefiting from this partnership include:

  • Rights Holders (Sports Properties, Teams, and Leagues): Closing the gap between marketing, social, PR/comms and partnership sales teams with insights that measure partner performance across the season, assisting with renewing partnerships and growing revenue potential.
  • Brands: Within marketing there are planning and execution teams that cut across all marketing and communication channels uniting it with media strategy and experiential marketing.
  • Agencies: This partnership will enable various agencies within PR, Media, and Sports to collaborate on data strategy and measurement.

“This partnership with Meltwater is a game–changer for the sports and entertainment industry. By providing even more insights into media and sponsorship measurement we are unlocking a massive, previously untapped source of brand value,” said Jay Prasad, CEO of Relo Metrics. “By adding additional media insights alongside broadcast and social exposure, we’re empowering rights holders, brands, and agencies to see the full picture of their sponsorship performance, and ultimately drive more strategic and data–backed decisions. This is a huge leap forward in delivering actionable insights that transform how sponsorships are valued.”

Meltwater’s suite of solutions unlocks the power of media, social, and consumer data, transforming them into actionable insights to give customers a competitive edge. With the most comprehensive dataset in the industry and more than 1 billion pieces of media and social content analyzed each day, Meltwater empowers companies with easy–to–action insights that drive data–backed decision–making. Its suite of solutions spans media intelligence, media relations, social listening, social media management, influencer marketing, consumer intelligence, and more.

For brands, agencies, rights holders, and media companies who seek to maximize the impact and ROI of their sports sponsorship investments, Relo Metrics provides unparalleled performance analytics that delivers granular insights and full–funnel measurement. Relo differentiates itself by offering deterministic conversion and attribution metrics, empowering stakeholders to understand the true value and outcomes of their sponsorships.

A key part of this strategy is Relo Metrics’ partner ecosystem by which is enabling Relo to go beyond valuation, named strategic partnerships with complementary technologies in the sports marketing space, giving clients a complete picture of their sponsorship performance.

“In today’s rapidly–evolving media landscape, it’s critical that brands have a comprehensive view of their performance and brand value across all channels. Meltwater is excited to partner with Relo Metrics to enable brands, agencies, rights holders, and media companies to gain a more holistic view of the impact of their sponsorships and optimize their strategies to reach even greater heights,” said Doug Balut, SVP of Global Alliances and Partnerships at Meltwater.

RANAGHAT, Índia, Jan. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — O EBC Financial Group (EBC), uma corretora financeira global líder, anuncia com orgulho sua mais recente iniciativa de Responsabilidade Social Corporativa (RSC) por meio de uma parceria estratégica com a Shakti Empowerment Education Foundation, parte do Shakti Regeneration Institute (SRI). Esta colaboração dará apoio a escola Ramakrishna Vedanta Vidyapith na Bengala Ocidental, Índia, proporcionando a 50 alunos de baixa renda acesso a materiais educacionais essenciais, uniformes, aulas vocacionais de costura e atividades extracurriculares.

Essa parceria faz parte da estratégia mais ampla de RSC do EBC, que complementa seu papel de corretora financeira global, permite o acesso aos mercados globais e promove a educação equitativa e desenvolvimento sustentável em comunidades onde as oportunidades econômicas são limitadas.

O EBC Financial Group apoiou o seriado de educação pública What Economists Really Do (WERD) da University of Oxford com o patrocínio de dois episódios: The Economics of Tax Evasion em 2023 e Macroeconomics and Climate em novembro de 2024. Esses episódios falam como a economia pode abordar questões sociais significativas e refletir a missão mais ampla do EBC de capacitar a tomada de decisões informadas – um princípio que também impulsiona seus serviços globais de corretagem, permitindo que indivíduos e instituições naveguem com confiança nos mercados financeiros. A série WERD é produzida de forma independente pelo Department of Economics, demostrando sua dedicação em unir a pesquisa acadêmica aos desafios do mundo real.

Juntas, essas iniciativas demonstram a dedicação do EBC em promover o acesso à educação, promover o discurso crítico e enfrentar os desafios interconectados de desenvolvimento socioeconômico e sustentabilidade. Mudando o foco para a Índia, a parceria do EBC com o SRI reforça sua missão de impulsionar mudanças sociais de longo prazo em nível local, capacitando os indivíduos com as ferramentas para que eles possam prosperar e contribuir para o desenvolvimento das suas comunidades e, ao mesmo tempo, promover o desenvolvimento sustentável em nível de base.

Além desse patrocínio essencial, a liderança do EBC em advocacia global pode ser observado nas suas contribuições para o próximo documentário #TheRegenerationGeneration, uma iniciativa do SRI dirigida por seu fundador, Indrani Pal–Chaudhuri. O filme, que aborda a necessidade urgente de financiamento e educação regenerativos, destaca os esforços dos vencedores do Prêmio Nobel, inovadores, líderes empresariais, educadores e líderes indígenas que trabalham em conjunto para proteger ecossistemas e comunidades vulneráveis das crescentes ameaças das mudanças climáticas. Ele também apresenta entrevistas com David Barrett, CEO do EBC Financial Group (UK) Ltd., e com o Professor Teytelboym do Department of Economics, Oxford University. O envolvimento do EBC em ambos os projetos sociais é um exemplo do seu compromisso de não apenas apoiar as comunidades locais, mas também de promover a conscientização e a ação globais em direção a futuros sustentáveis e equitativos.

Barrett expressou a importância estratégica dessa parceria: “O EBC reconhece que o verdadeiro poder da educação cria a base para a transformação das sociedades e a abertura de caminhos para uma mudança duradoura. A nossa parceria com o Shakti Regeneration Institute é mais do que um patrocínio – reflete a nossa dedicação em elevar a próxima geração, pois apoiamos a escola Ramakrishna Vedanta Vidyapith ao equipar as crianças marginalizadas com as ferramentas de que precisam para prosperar. Com o nosso envolvimento no documentário #TheRegenerationGeneration 2025, amplificamos as vozes das comunidades indígenas e apoiamos a preservação do seu patrimônio cultural e ambiental. A colaboração contínua do EBC com o Department of Economics da University of Oxford se baseia no sucesso do seu webinar anterior, que se concentrou na The Economics of Tax Evasion (Economia da Evasão Fiscal). Ao investir na educação em todos os níveis, pretendemos criar oportunidades, promover a equidade e enfrentar os desafios do nosso tempo. Esses esforços se alinham perfeitamente aos nossos valores fundamentais de integridade, responsabilidade e sustentabilidade.”

Ajay Pal–Chaudhuri, Presidente e Fundador do Shakti Regeneration Institute, comentou: “Estamos entusiasmados com o anúncio da nossa parceria com o EBC Financial Group, uma colaboração que incorpora a convergência da responsabilidade corporativa com o impacto global. Juntos, embarcamos em uma jornada transformadora, unindo os nossos pontos fortes na educação e defesa ecológica para capacitar comunidades em todo o mundo. Com o apoio do EBC, além de capacitar as crianças marginalizadas por meio da educação, também aumentamos a conscientização global quanto aos desafios críticos que as comunidades indígenas enfrentam e a situação dos ecossistemas vulneráveis.”

O compromisso do EBC em fazer uma diferença significativa está alinhado com os seus valores fundamentais de dedicação, responsabilidade e integridade. Ao garantir que os recursos financeiros sejam direcionados para projetos impactantes, o EBC demonstra como a responsabilidade corporativa pode promover mudanças no mundo real, contribuir para o bem–estar das comunidades e preservar os ecossistemas que sustentam as populações vulneráveis. Operando sob regulamentação de alto nível, o EBC une sua missão de equipar os investidores com acesso a mercados globais, como moedas, índices e commodities, aos investimentos sociais impactantes que contribuem para o bem–estar e a sustentabilidade das comunidades.

A escola Ramakrishna Vedanta Vidyapith, que celebrará o 25º. aniversário da sua fundação em janeiro de 2025, tem sido uma instituição vital para a melhoria das comunidades locais na Bengala Ocidental. Com os seus programas educacionais, a escola capacita crianças e mulheres de origens marginalizadas, ajudando–as a quebrar o ciclo da pobreza e a contribuir positivamente para as suas comunidades. O apoio do EBC aprimora a missão da escola ajudando a garantir que essas crianças recebam além da educação básica treinamento vocacional e oportunidades de criação de comunidades que as preparem para o sucesso a longo prazo.
